JANA ZELLER, Spybird Theater, excerpts from “Eye of the Storm”

An excerpt of our new full-length piece which will premiere in 2013, involving an elegant woman who is waiting for the return of her sailor son on a shrinking island that faces a storm. She is a rod puppet haunted by shadow visions, and her only neighbors are a set of grotesque hand puppets in their puppet booth. This excerpt features the two hand puppets Kasper and Gretel as they bang around their domestic obstacles. www.spybirdtheater.com

Full-length piece performed with Zak Grace.

Directed by Kali Quinn and Ines Zeller-Bass.
